I found these tiny worm like bugs eating my light wool and cashmere, it is good to know that you have a company that can repair. What about men suit pants and jacket the bugs are eating all the above and no one can tell me how to get rid of them. Do you reccomend storing these items in plastic containers.

Next time you think about it, pay attention to what is rubbing against that area...that's most likely the source of your problem.<br /><br />We love (and use all the time) Alter Knit New York to fix our holes, tears and snags. You can drop off (if you're in the city) or ship to them.

Question: I rece...Thanks for this - very helpful!<br /><br />Question: I recently took out my sweaters to prepare to wash them and put them up for summer, and noticed tiny holes in all of the delicate cashmere ones at the front side toward the bottom (below belly button). I have noticed similar holes in delicate knit shirts (mostly Theory) over the past few years, but assumed it was because that fabric was so delicate. Now I am seeing these tiny holes in other fabrics and garments, but all in the exact same place.<br /><br />I have never run across this before, and now I've been seeing it over and over again. Am I the only one? Do others see it? What can I do to prevent it? To fix it? <br /><br />Thanks!Susunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782335824869450218.post-5393577650665892272011-04-14T10:49:00.522-04:002011-04-14T10:49:00.522-04:00Hi LeeAnne,

Would it be 2 tablespoons or more?<br /><br />Oh, and another question: The water on the photo looks quite milky, does this come from the vinegar? Or did you add a detergent to the vinegar?<br /><br />It still costs me an effort to use the sweater stone, because so much sweater stays on the stone and I don't want my sweater to become "less".Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842556959891396007noreply@blogger.com
